tooquicktostop Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Save your money IMO I dont see the point of a turbo timer at all, just drive off boost for the last part of your journey then allow to tick over for 30 sec to a min and then swich off, having a turbo timer run for 3 mins without you in the car is crazy and I think illegal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 Some do, but it aint worth removing my CAT1 Sigma to install another one, id rather just wait then few min than spend hundreds lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to drive through my town centre (30mph), down a dodgy tar road and then down a dodgy section of "road". Then I let the car idle while I take all my crap out. How do these work with alarms?? In my previous car I had to wait to arm the alarm anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erol_h Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 It depedns on what alarm you have i have a seperate button that just locks the doors and after the engine stops it automatically immobilises itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I have an automatic door locking and unlocking thing, where it auto locks the doors once driving... and unlocks when the engine switches off, had the same thing in SA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
